Westmorland Veterinary Group

Westmorland Veterinary Group is an RCVS-accredited practice providing care for both pets and farm animals, and it’s listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The website mentions an emergency vet service, and reviews describe the team handling both routine work (annual health checks and booster vaccinations) and unexpected needs (urgent appointments and arranging repeat medication while an owner was travelling).

From the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention

• •Being fit in for an urgent appointment and finding the vet “very thorough”.
• •Practical help coordinating medication by contacting a pet’s usual vet and preparing the prescription for collection.
• •Support during end-of-life situations, with empathy highlighted by one family who approached the practice when their dog died.

A minority of reviewers also report recent operational changes (described as a buyout and new booking software), and they’re unhappy that they can’t book with a specific named vet.
